Maybe I just have a bad opinion but I've thoroughly enjoyed almost all of his movies. Not every movie needs to be a masterpiece. Sometimes it's nice to just watch something that's relatable.

I unironically love 50 First Dates. It's cute.

The classic ones are still good, happy Gilmore, water boy, Billy madison, I mean come on. That's nostalgic stuff right there.

I'm probobly more of an art snob than your average person, but I can still consume those movies for sure.

I've never seen uncut gems though. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

I'm really nostalgic for Click. Really the only ones I didn't like were grownups and grownups 2. That's just because I'm a hipster and can't enjoy things everyone else likes.

I really enjoyed Click (as well as most of Sandler's films) but I'm honestly terrified of rewatching them because I feel like there's a 50% chance I'll hate them in the present for (insert really poor taste joke that is either homophobic, transphobic, or ableist). Click especially because I know there is supposedly something rough in it and I'm conflicted on if I want to find my old DVD of the film and possibly ruin the movie.

That said, I now want to watch Uncut Gems because of this post, so maybe I'm doomed to watch Sandler films.

I watched click recently and it definitely did NOT hold up for me. It's just so over the top dramatic that it waded into cringe for me. Sucks because when I was a teen I thought it was absolutely amazing.

Grownups and grownups 2. Definitely two of the movies of all time.

Uncut Gems is a two hour and fifteen minute panic attack imo. Very well written/performed/directed though, it earned its 91 on metacritic

Uncut Gems - If anxiety is what you crave.

Good movie.

Happy Gilmore is high art.

There's no one my age or older that can help but laugh at seeing Bob Barker kick the crap out of someone.

It's all in the hips.
